Abstract

Goal: Examined the relationship between mindfulness of eating, eating behavior and the degree of dissatisfaction with body image, as well as to investigate the profile of motivational regulation for exercise in overweight and obese people. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two individuals answered the exercise behavioral regulation, exercise self-efficacy, perception of competence to maintain healthy eating questionnaires, assessment of body image, eating behavior, social physical anxiety and full attention to eating. Results: The motivational regulation revealed that the regulation identified for exercise was significantly higher than the other subscales, followed by introjected regulation and intrinsic regulation. Dissatisfaction with body image was present in 63% of the participants, with 21% mild, 24% moderate and 16% severe. The Tukey HSD test revealed that participants with severe body image dissatisfaction had significantly higher values ​​of social physical anxiety compared to those with no dissatisfaction. Emotional eating was negatively related to mindfulness for eating (r= 0.63; p<0.05), positively associated with controlled forms of regulation for exercise (external regulation, r= 0.36; p<0, 01 and introjected regulation, r=0.30; p<0.05), dissatisfaction with body image (r=0.63; p<0.01) and social physical anxiety (r=0.39; p<0.01). Conclusion : The results showed that the most pronounced motivational regulation for exercise was the identified regulation. Dissatisfaction with body image had a mediating effect in the relationship between mindfulness of eating and emotional eating. These data suggest that weight-loss programs can emphasize the improvement of body image, mindfulness to eating and the perception of self-efficacy to maintain a healthy diet.
